Upper console is loose (hanging down) - how to fix?

[Arbetrader]

Hello all, a picture is worth 1000 words, so here it is. Just wondering specifically if someone knows how this is attached; the front of it (by sunglass holder) mysteriously just unclipped and is hanging down... Wondering how it clips up, and how to remove/replace and put new clips in (if necessary)? Anyone know, or is there a schematic of how the clips work? Pushing it up doesn't do anything, just comes back down...

The screws came out.  Notorious on these trucks.  Take a small flat pry tool or screwdriver and remove the center plate that has the dome lamp switch in the center of that console.  You will find the screws laying in there.  Zip them back in place and it should be good to go.

Hey, thanks for the response, however I cannot get the center plate out... Just to confirm (for me), are you referring to the small (and appears to be removable) plate that is about 1/2" x 2.5"? I tried using a small screwdriver and only messed up the entire plate. I cannot for the life of me get it removed, without severely damaging it and the sides of the actual cover plate. How does it remove, and when I do take it out (and presumably find screws in there) - where do the screws get screwed back into? That cover plate is closer to the front window, and the part of the trim piece that is hanging is by the sunglass holder, which is way further up. How do you get the screws back in there? There's no access point to put them... Just wondering about that.
